EDUCATION AND CULTURE HIGHLIGHT THE
FADM “FESTA ABRUZZESE—2014”.
By Sandy Tornberg
The Federazione Abruzzese del Michigan held its annual Festa Abruzzese on September 21 at the Forestré Banquet Center. After the members and guests had time to socialize and enjoy their dinner,
President Enzo Paglia opened the afternoon’s program by explaining the philosophy and importance
of the FADM scholarship program.
There are three parts to the program the first of which is reimbursement of tuition to member families whose children successfully complete Italian classes through the IACS, Dante Alighieri Society, or
Italian American Club of Livonia. See Page 5.
The second part is the FADM College Scholarship Program, which awards two $1,000 scholarships
to students entering their freshman year, or in process of completing their undergraduate degree.
This year’s winners were Alexa Volpe and Robert Simone.
Robert Simone is the son of Marc and Christine Simone, and the grandson of FADM member Renata
Simone. Robert is a 2014 graduate of Grosse Pointe North High School, where he was inducted into
the Academic Hall of Fame with a GPA of 4.05.
The Cultural Exchange Fund is the third part of the FADM Scholarship Program. Funded by the
Gagliano Aterno Club and FADM, and administered by Wayne State University, it assists students
who participate in the Wayne in Abruzzo Program in Gagliano Aterno, in the province of L’Aquila,
during the summer. This year FADM scholarships were awarded to Amanda Burgos, Samantha
Zalewski and Emily Pastor.
After the scholarships were awarded, the talented Aaron Caruso, accompanied by Jackie Lewis Cole,
entertained the audience with selections by Abruzzese composer Francesco Paolo Tosti. Tosti was
born in Ortona (Chieti) on April 9, 1846 and died in Rome on December 2, 1916. He is remembered
for his light, expressive songs, which are characterized by natural, singable melodies and sweet sentimentality. Tosti is also known for his editions of Italian folk songs entitled "Canti popolari Abruzzesi".It
was a memorable afternoon of food, education, music, and fun.

Sono Cresciuta di Rosetta Di Lorenzo
Sono cresciuta nei giorni
In cui la terra era tutto.
Dignita` e frutti appesi
Alle spalle curve su di essa.
Io non so dove abitare
se non in “cieli nuovi e
nuove terre”.
La luce inondava il cuore
Di speranza
E svegliava l’occhio assopito
All poesie.
La terra della quercia
grande
s’irrora del mio pianto
e il fluire del mio spirito
s’annega in luoghi amati.
Si tramutava in ebbrezza
la quiete del meriggio.
Ora il lamento della tortora

ma io, io dove andro1?

FADM FAITHFUL AT SHRINE OF THE SORROWFUL MOTHER
Get up early on a Sunday morning, sleepy and tired, pack
your lunch and go to a parking lot in the dark to meet up
with other people who have the same devotion in mind.
When you arrive there are 4 or 5 buses in the same area
and you have to make sure you are on the right one. After
settling in and relaxing with friends, a cup of coffee and
cookies and you are on your way. As daylight breaks the
laughter and fun turns to song and prayer. Traditional
songs that we learned as children either in Abruzzo or here
with our parents. There was also prayer to the Virgin Mary
to protect us during our journey, both physical and spiritual.. Funny how the Lord’s prayer and the Hail Mary
sound so much profound in Italian; especially when done
in concert with the travelers.
Arriving at the Shrine, there are buses and people from all
over the area. Michigan , Ohio and Pennsylvania all travel
this day, this Italian Sunday to pay homage to Our Lady.
After Mass, there is always lunch. And what a lunch. Everyone shares what they have brought down with them. Frittatta, pasta, chicken (broiled, grilled, boiled, cacciatore, etc)
cheeses , sausages, and of course some homemade wine.
All this to remember a time long ago where it was common
place to do such a journey.
Later in the afternoon, a procession for the Rosary was
conducted with all the clubs going into the grotto reciting
the Rosary, mystery by mystery, Hail Mary for Hail Mary.
SHRINE—CONTINUED.
After lunch, a procession of the stations of the Cross was
conducted by Father Addari. Leading the followers I prayer
and song, stopping at each station recalling the last day of
Christ.
Later in the afternoon, a procession for the Rosary was conducted with all the clubs, holding their banners high, going
into the grotto reciting the Rosary, mystery by mystery, Hail
Mary for Hail Mary. Hundreds of people following and devoting themselves to the blessed Mother..
After the procession of the Blessed Mother, there was a
quick prayer service in the outdoor pavilion church, followed by a blessing from a relic of the cross.
As we departed from the Shrine, we sang songs and enjoyed

-ABRUZZO HERITAGE~ GABRIELE ROSSETTI~
Gabriele Pasquale Giuseppe
Rossetti
(28 February 1783, Vasto, Abruzzo – 24
April 1854, London) was an Italian poet
and scholar who emigrated to England.
Born in Vasto in the Kingdom of the
Two Sicilies, the original family of his
ancestors was Della Guardia. Since many
members of the Della Guardia family
had red hair, they were given the nickname Rossetti approximately four generations before Gabriele's birth.[1] Rossetti's support for Italian revolutionary nationalism forced him into political exile in 1821.
Early career and exile
[edit]Rossetti's first edition of poems was printed in 1807 by Giovanni Avalloni, who offered to have Rossetti's poems
published after hearing him recite a few passages. The volume was never reprinted and contains poems that Rossetti himself describes by saying that some of them were "poor" and none of them were "exactly good".[2] Throughout his early
career, Rossetti published poems that were "patriotic" and supported the "popular movement" in Sicily which resulted in
him receiving a grant from Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies in 1820. When the king revoked the constitution in 1821,
many supporters of the constitution were persecuted and forced into exile, and Rossetti then lived in Malta for three years
before settling in London in 1824. He held the post of Professor of Italian at King's College London from 1831, as well
as teaching Italian at King's College School, until failing eyesight led to his retirement in 1847.[3]
Rossetti's published works include literary criticism, Romantic poetry such as his long poem Il veggente in solitudine of 1846,
and his Autobiography. He is thought to be the basis of the character Pesca in Wilkie Collins' 1860 novel The Woman in
White.He also wrote commentaries on Dante Alighieri in which he attempted to show evidence of mysterious ancient conspiracies in his works.[4]He married Frances Polidori, daughter of another Italian exile Gaetano Polidori, and they had four
children:

Ed a mostrarci dei tuoi figli il merto
Colline apriche ove scherzai bambino
T'inghirlandasti di palladio serto.
Ove adulto cantai vallette ombrose
Vaghi lidi il cui specchio, il cui sussurro

Secoli Augustei. Messaggi da Amiternum e dall'Abruzzo antico
Secoli Augustei. Messaggi da Amiternum e dall'Abruzzo antico, una splendida rassegna di mostre che dall'11 luglio sarà allestita presso i
prestigiosi ambienti museali di Villa Frigerj, storica sede del Museo Archeologico Nazionale d'Abruzzo, e di Palazzo de' Mayo. Il progetto è stato promosso dal Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo, attraverso la Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici dell'Abruzzo e la Fondazione Carichieti che, in collaborazione con la Carichieti SpA e in occasione del bimillenario della morte di
Augusto (63 a.C. - 14 d.C.), hanno concepito un ricco e suggestivo percorso espositivo che si snoderà, in maniera quasi complementare,
nelle due sedi museali. Le due mostre presentano al pubblico un cospicuo numero di opere e reperti che provengono per la quasi totalità,
e appositamente per questa occasione, dalla città di Amiternum in epoca imperiale, insediamento sabino nei pressi de L'Aquila che in età
augustea divenne grande centro di potere e di rappresentanza della cultura di Roma imperiale permeando l'aspetto del territorio e delle
città abruzzesi fino ad oggi. La mostra di Palazzo de'Mayo vedrà esposte per la prima volta, dopo il recente restauro, il monumento funerario di Esedra e la statua virile in nudità eroica di un ignoto proprietario di una imponente domus, tra le più grandi finora documentate
nell'epoca romana, databile II secolo. La mostra di Villa Frigerj, che si snoderà al primo piano con un nuovo allestimento appositamente
studiato e che si intreccia con le opere già presenti nella collezione del museo, proporrà opere e reperti che dimostrano la ricchezza e il
carattere colto e sofisticato di una committenza esigente; saranno in mostra due grandi teste ritratto di Augusto, numerose immagini

Reflections of our time.
What a whirlwind year 2014 has been for the Federazione Abruzzese del Michigan. Beginning with our 15th Anniversary Gala dinner, we marched into the new year with new members and added fellowship events. Our Pasta and Fagioli cook off had 12 entrees and was a
great success. Our Christmas Party had over 220 people with our new partners, Gagliano
Aterno and Club Pacentro. We hope this will be the start of a new era of joint cooperation in events for
the Abruzzese community. We also have a new CRAM being formed with the new government in
Abruzzo, and we are now a key group in the organization. Our newsletter is known to the CRAM and to
other Abruzzese Federations around the world. Yet there still so much to do, but with the help of and
support of everyone in the FADM we can make it all happen.
Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year.
